Index Change Rumor

It seems that lowering the index's would not hurt the racers at the bottom so much. Everyone should be able to run 2 tenths under the index in 2019/2020...especially with all that NHRA has allowed racers to do in recent years.

It will be a positive for those many racers that do work hard and spend a lot of money so that they can run their cars without being penalized, holding back so much and shutting off at the 1,000. Not fun to watch! Even combos that are not considered "soft" can go 1.00 second under the index these days...why penalize them for the rules that NHRA has allowed or the money they spent or hard work the racer put in?! Stock and Super Stock are performance categories and meant to go fast, not shut-off and hold back.
